Good Evening,

Firstly, this is meant with all love to Morrissey and in the hope he gets well soon.

Secondly, I was meant to be travelling from Scotland to Bournemouth and then on to London.

Being that Bournemouth has now been cancelled, I don't see much point in making this journey.

Obviously no one knows for sure but realistically being that he's cancelled before and in certain people we know, Jonathan Ross, saying that he will play, do you think he will make the Royal Albert Hall or would it better for me just to stay at home with my gin and tears?

Thanks for any advice.

its a sad time for everybody, my advice would be to just wait untill an announcement is made about RAH, i mean to me it would seem strange that only one date has been cancelled, if the whole tour was to be cancelled then it would be right to announce all at once. so maybe he's just going to have a rest in his hotle tomorrow and then get back on the road

The RAH gig is on Tuesday, isn't it? If I were you I would wait until later tonight or tomorrow to see whether it's been cancelled, and then make your plans accordingly.

i wouldn't go

Thank you all for your replies.

I know it comes across as a tad insensitive, although after a multitude of times waiting on tenterhooks, you begin to see that perhaps there is a time and a place for such talk.

My flight's tomorrow morning at 11.15 from Edinburgh, so unfortunately I don't think I'll be finding much out about the Royal Albert Hall before I go, much like the May situation.

I am in two minds, that being not to put myself through that again and also, not wishing to miss what for me will be a spiritual experience, being that it's the one venue in the world I have always wanted to see him. If only it was 2002 and not what we have now.

I doubt I'll go. I'll sit at home, drinking my gin, spinning his records, etc...

Thanks again for the advice.

Ross only said that he hoped to resume the tour for London, not that he would do. Your going to have to sit on your hands for a bit, but I would expect a lay off for a short while. We want him fighting fit.

All things considered, given his track record this year, I'd be wondering whether or not to go even if last night didn't happen.

Assuming that you will not be getting a refund on the flight and the time is already set aside,why don't you just take the trip anyway?

Brel,

Therein lies the problem.

Not wishing to go into my financial details too much, I'm not feeling particularly flush at the moment, so it was going to 'break the bank' anyway.

I made the journey back in May and the amount I spent on this alone was enough to have stop and think whether I would do it again. Out of sheer love for the man, I've done it again and would rather just 'count my losses', i.e. the money spent on travel/accommodation was done in a time where I had the money and it's not cost me a great deal, so I'll just avoid it.

I am really at a loss with the whole thing because everything is consumed with Morrissey getting well and nothing to do with the money at all but I need to say no. Plus, being that I was going through Bournemouth, direct flights to London would set me back.

Thanks again everyone

if i was you i'd go on the trip, just think if you dont go and he plays?? you would be more mad with yourself than if you went and he didnt play?

I haven't cancelled my baby-sitter for Tuesday night...YET! :rolleyes:

*CROSSES FINGERS.....TOES...ETC*

Love to all...especially Moz! :love:

Far be it for me to turn into the Wossy of the forum (although I am incredibly unfunny) I don't think he will play.

I remember the gigs at the Roundhouse and on that occasion, he was never admitted to hospital but it still took him a good week to get well. I think, especially in what people were saying about Birmingham, his voice is not going to get better for Tuesday and if he does do it, it may end in the same way as Swindon did. I cannot even bare, nor would I ever want to be in that room if it happens to him.

I would much rather he gets better and I rejoin the tour in Essex. Yes, I am quite clearly mad for even thinking about going to see him again. As my parents are telling me right now.

I think your question is completely valid and understandable. We all wish Moz a full recovery and we all hope that he makes the best decision concerning his own healty and wellness. However it doesn't mean that one shouldn't be worried about the previous arrangements made for travel, accomodation, time off work. As you said all this cost money which for most it's not abundant and the sooner we can have a definition the easier it will be to change plans or not. So it's not an insensitive question, just practical and there's nothing wrong with that. If you decide to travel, make a Plan B (theatre, musical, etc) in case the concert is officially cancelled. That way you won't feel so dissapointed and you can still have a good time. :)

Thanks Marcia and everyone who posted.

I think I'm going to sit it out and of course, have everyone post on here on Wednesday that it was his best performance.

Thanks again.

Difficult one to call. The fact he cancelled the original show might play a part as it would be bad pr to cancel the same show twice! But he's obviously ill so chances of him playing are slim I would say. My theory is the RAH will be cancelled and tickets will be valid for the ally pally show. Unless that show isn't already sold out etc

Part of me thinks the whole tour is going to be cancelled and he won't tour again for a while. Hope it's not so, but he hasn't been in good health recently.

Hi! I fully agree with you. I am in France and RAH would be the 5th time I would try to see him; 4 times before he cancelled... I guess I must not be lucky... Actually I was supposed to attend 2 shows at the London Roundehouse; both were cancelled... Paris Grand Rex also cancelled.
My flight to London is tomorrow mornning and, like you, I don't want to go and learn "on site" that the gig is cancelled. I would really appreciate to know today which would be the least HE could do, I think, for people who keep on desperately spending money on him.... Morrissey if you read me....

Can you not get a ticket for a concert closer to home and take the train there on the day? This gives you more flexibility in case a concert is cancelled. I am not flying anywhere this autumn. I only have tickets for concerts that I will drive to. If they don't happen, I simply won't go.

gonetothedogs lives in Scotland and decided not to travel.

gonetothedogs lives in Scotland and decided not to travel.

Oh, I thought just for the RAH concert and that gonetothedogs was thinking of going to Essex instead.

I'm not travelling as far as some people, but I would like to know whether its worth getting the train from Liverpool to London this afternoon as I have previously booked.

I just rang the RAH and they have a recorded message, obviously to cope with the hundreds of calls they must be getting about the gig tomorrow. It says something to the effect of "if you are calling about the Morrissey concert tomorrow....despite his recent illness, this event is still scheduled to take place".

I know this isnt written in blood, but it gives me a glimmer of hope, despite the other side of me that really thinks he should be cancelling all these gigs and getting himself well.

Does anybody know when/if we will have definite confirmation that he is playing this show tomorrow because i'm in a similar predicament in that my friend from Bournmouth would be travelling up to London and would rather not come to find a cancelled concert for the second night running. Anyone have any clues?

I know this isnt written in blood, but it gives me a glimmer of hope, despite the other side of me that really thinks he should be cancelling all these gigs and getting himself well.

My thoughts too. Have train tix for Edin to London (again) tomorrow am. The sensible part of me wants an outright cancellation for his healths sake but as you say that glimmer of hope that he may play is everything for me.
Saw that morrissey world updated info this morning but just regarding Bournmouth which we all kind of knew. No mention of RAH but did state that he was under docs instruction to rest.

O well heres hoping for a decision one way or the other soon as I'm sure many others are too. One thing for sure though, tomorrow night if it goes ahead will be very emotional.

In two minds, have my ticket have the afternoon booked off work and the next day and really not sure whether to cancel but then if he does do it I wouldnt want to not be there......After Swindon though I dont think I could bear it if he is still ill and doing it for the "fans", I am sure most would agree it would be better for him to rest and tour again when 100%..

Its a tricky one and no mistake..

Well I decided not to go. I'm currently sitting at home, awaiting any kind of news. There's nothing on the new Morrissey information source, Sky News, so I'm assuming he's went to sleep it off under some iron bridge and the cancellation is imminent.

Stupidly enough, I know, but if it was announced to still be going ahead, I would be desperately clawing together the money to get down there.

I'm hoping that there's a definitive statement today in regards to the tour because besides never wishing to have created this thread, I don't want there to be further upset or uncertainty for those going to future shows.

I feel so selfish because on one hand, I want him to get better but on the other, I would rather he just cancels the tour as opposed to increasing the likelihood of this happening again and in fans waiting day-by-day, deciding whether to travel.

If there was one message I could give to him, it would be for him to cancel the tour and rest but going by past experience, he will more than likely be back out on the road come the end of this week, causing more cancelled shows and broken hearts. Oh such drama we choose to live our lives by...

Just logged on to check info when I noticed your post gonetothedogs. I know I will prob be in your shoes tomorrow with one foot on the train and one foot off still not knowing one way or the other. i was 10 mins into train journey in May when I got the text to say he had cancelled.
Two thinks perked me up though, got to meet lots of lovely fellow fans that were all in the same predicament about cancellations which made a bad night better,and my current 'pick me up' is the amount of excitement and anticipation I have had over the past months waiting for tomorrow to arrive.
Prob sounds a bit silly to say that but its been a long day so far and I am very tired.

Good luck on your choices.

I think I'm going to go!?!

Is this wise? Probably not but it's my life to wreck my own way

Thanks

Get yourself down gonetothedogs! RAH is back on!! :guitar:

I tell you what, if you are going to go for it and travel all that way then I am going to go as well......

in for a penny and all that...

I would still rather travel to a morrissey gig for it to be cancelled last minute than see 95% of any of the otheer bands/artists out there!! :eek:

apparently moz has confirmed this show as his comeback :)

we will have to give him an extra big cheer when he walks on to the albert hall stage

Great Post !!!! I'm away now for a wee cry and a lie down.

Well my savings are decidedly dipped and dodgy for a show that may not even go ahead but do I care?

I'm never going to have a family and I get to see Morrissey tomorrow evening, so everyone's a winner...
